Gustavus
A brief but interesting tidbit from Gustavus, the small town on an island near
Juneau specializing in residents who like the area but also like the freedom
from bureaucracy offered by a place home to 400 people year-round.

It seems before Gustavus had any paved roads, they were gravel and usually full
of potholes.
The town decided it was simple to tell sober drivers from drunk drivers. Sober
drivers meandered down the roads, going from side-to-side to avoid as many potholes
as possible. Drunk drivers thought they were the Indianapolis Speedway and tore
along as fast and straight as possible.
